Please see this thread for more information: http://www.geocrawler.com/mail/thread.php3?subject=%2Fbin%2Fsh+changed%3F&list=152 In short, the shell script construction: run_a_deamon & && echo "deamon started" is no longer supported, since it didn't make any sense in the first place. :) It might help to simply reinstall the port(s) that put scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d, because these scripts should be updated by now, to support the changes in /bin/sh. I fear this is going to be a FAQ when 4.7 hits the streets... Wouldn't this be a good entry for the /usr/src/UPDATING file? :) Cheers, - -- Dimitry Andric <dim@xs4all.nl> PGP Key: http://www.xs4all.nl/~dim/dim.asc Fingerprint: 7AB462D2CE35FC6D42394FCDB05EA30A2E2096A3 Lbh ner abj va ivbyngvba bs gur QZPN -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 6.5.8ckt http://www.ipgpp.com/ Comment: http://duncan.gn.apc.org/stoa_cover.htm iQA/AwUBPYm5sLBeowouIJajEQIVAACgr0wHw2FnvpWpVSO2irh7/ND0XQwAoMWE d0XgOTRmtSed0TOgaMhvrJlP =pxx2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
